4 (a) Draw a neat diagram of ?Electrolux refrigerator? and explain its working principle. What is the
important role of hydrogen in this refrigeration system?
(b) Find the maximum COP of a vapour absorption refrigeration system in which heating, cooling
and refrigeration takes place at the temperature of 100 , 20 and -5 respectively.
5 A boot strap refrigeration system is used in airplane. The following observations are made.
The ambient air temperature is 15 and pressure of 0.85 bar. Due to ramming action,
pressure increases to 1 bar. This ram air is used for heat exchangers. This air is then
compressed in primary compressor to 3.25 bar. The discharge pressure of air from
secondary compressor is 4.25 bar. Assume compression efficiency of 0.9 and turbine
efficiency of 0.85. Effectiveness for both heat exchangers is 0.7. The cabin pressure is
0.9 bar and temperature of air leaving the cabin is 22 Assuming remaining action
isentropic, calculate COP and power required per ton of refrigeration.
